Glossary

A Basic Glossary of Terms

We toss around a lot of shorthand here in Handibot Land (including “Handibot Land,” a phrase we just made up to signify the Handibot development group inside Shopbot Tools). So we thought we’d slow down the bus long enough to share a couple of definitions with you:

Ideas -
Here, "ideas" can be lots of things. In this community you can share your suggestions for projects to make with the Handibot, and ideas for project or task-related apps. We'd also like your thoughts on ways to improve upon the tool itself and hear your suggestions for tool accessories.

Photos & Videos -
OK, we know that you know what a photo is. We just want to let you know, you can put up a gallery to show off something you've made, how you've modified someone else's project, a how-to video, whatever you think the community would find useful.

Projects -
When you sign up (free), you're able to upload complete instructions for making your latest project — this is pretty much any item that you've created with the help of a Handibot tool. Share files, videos and pix. If your project is already posted elsewhere (e.g. Instructables) you'll be able to share a link to it.
